A successful run through Have a Nice Death doesn't take very long, especially once players are familiar with the bosses and their attack patterns. Yet in spite of this, Have a Nice Death has a great deal of replay value. While a lot of this game is RNG based, there are many different options as far as what Curse builds players can go with or what weapons they use. There is even numerous difficulties for players to challenge themselves with.
For players wanting to see if Death gets his vacation or not, there is also several endings that require more than one successful completion of the game. Here is how players can get the true ending for Have a Nice Death.
This guide contains spoilers, so players should proceed with caution.
Beat the Game Twice
In order to unlock the true ending, there are several steps that must be completed. The first one is to beat the game once on any difficulty. This requires players to beat the Sorrow in the Modern Warfare Department. Upon clearing this department, players will get a cutscene. Death's attempt to go on a vacation fails, and he finds himself back in his office.
During the next attempt, players will notice that the game continues even after clearing the Modern Warfare Department. Upon beating the game once, two more departments become available. Players must clear both of these departments, including Time in the Inevitable Time Department. If players manage to clear both of these departments, they will see a new cutscene.
Unlock All Three Quantum Rift Lockers
While it may seem like the previous cutscene was the true ending, it is not. While talking to various employees at Death Inc, players will hear chatter about strange lockers and what Time is doing. During the next run, there will be three lockers that will show up. These lockers have a strange visual effect all over, so it is very hard for players to miss them. The locations of these lockers are as follows.
- Shop (Requires 1 Prismium to unlock)
- Breakroom (Requires 3 Golden Anima to unlock)
- In the hallway just before fighting any Thanager (department doesn't matter, no currency needed to unlock)
Each locker contains one of three pieces that make up a medallion. This medallion cannot be equipped and cannot be used as a weapon. There is nothing that players need to do with them other than gather them. Once all three pieces have been gathered, defeat Time once again. The dialogue will be noticeably different if players have found all pieces of the medallion.
The previous ending will play, but it will change as the medallion comes together and the true antagonist of the game is revealed. After the cutscene ends, players will be in a brand-new area. Move forward to fight the true final boss of the game. This boss is very challenging, so be prepared for a fight. If players manage to beat the final boss, they will have successfully completed Have a Nice Death and will get to enjoy the true ending.
Have a Nice Death is available now on Nintendo Switch and Steam.
